Things about staying 'mid-air'

Staying in an apartment is fun but sometimes can be disastrous and annoying. For instance:

. You will have these constant renovations going on. Sometimes the renovation can be few floors above or below but you can hear them loud and clear as if it is done IN your house. Jien for one can't take these and if it occurs middle of his nap, 'wah.......' there goes the wailing.

. Some people just don't know how to treat their rubbish. All they want is to throw out the rubbish FROM their house. So they will leave the unwrapped, smelly, drippy, wet rubbish ON the floor of the rubbish compartment rather than in the bins. I think even if they throw it in the bin, it should be dry and tied up properly. The cleaner deserves some respect too.

. KIDS!!! There is a nice park with a winding path for strollers and joggers. But some kids had turned this into a football field. This is not only dangerous to kids but also adults!! These kids parents are just selfish don't you think? A park is for everyone and not just a few kids and a fiery ball!

. Pool, yes. Our apartment boasts of having one of the finest pool, well landscaped and clean. But some kids ( and some adults too ) would just jump right in with their long pair of jeans, baju and I presumed undies etc etc. Please la, put on a proper swimming attire, be it long or short, slap on a swimming cap if you need to. Take a quick shower before you dive in la!! My neighbour, a middle-eastern guy, has stopped visiting the pool anymore. He said he just can't take it anymore!

. Lift. Some idiots don't read sign. They smoke in the lift. I had encountered a guy who did so and I told him of. So he 'stopped' smoking BUT still holding on to the lit cigaratte until he left the lift. HALLO!! You whacko!! It is the smoke la you idiot ( really feel like shaking his head, HARD!!) irregardless whether you puff in the smoke or not, siao ah!!

. Recently there is a foul smell at night, and I suspected it is from a light industrial factory nearby. One morning, while in the lift, I bumped into a guy and asked him about the smell. He said 'NO'. He said he never opened his windows. He turns the air-con on the moment he reaches home. I was strucked, hard. Why on earth do you buy an apartment when you can enjoy the natural breeze??!! This guy is young, don't tell me most youngsters do this...poor earth.

Maybe it is time for us to move out!! Sigh...

Ack, what to do, some folks think they own the building ka?

Treating the swimming pool like a giant washing machine is what really pisses me off. Some people have no sense!

But stay cool, baby's coming so don't stress yourself too much, ok? :)

the other reason i didn't want to purchase an apartment is the carrying up of stuffs and kids to your abode. It just stresses me out.Esp waiting for the lift.

hey..all this while, I thought u lived in a DST! Hmm...

I used to stay in an aptment too. Yes, I had to endure some hacking when my neighbour repaired his bathroom floor....ALWAYS in the middle of No.1's nap.

Then I stayed in a DST, my next door neighbour did more hacking. About 5 weeks of it. Let's just say, No.2 was just born then.

See la..no matter where you stay..there will be inconsiderate folks. Hmmm...
